Outsourcing and Functional Service Provider (FSP) for Medical Device Clinical Research

Companies Trust Us as Their Clinical Outsourcing Partner Because We Focus on Medical Devices…and Only Devices

You wouldn’t hire a brain surgeon to do a knee replacement so why entrust the success of your product approval to a company that doesn’t specialize in medical devices? With NAMSA, you won’t be left wondering whether the team assigned to your project fully understands your product because we have tested nearly every product type of the market and completed thousands of clinical projects. We comply with ISO 14155 and all relevant medical device regulatory requirements.

Also, we are far more than a CRO – we support our clients with a full array of market research, preclinical research, biological safety consulting, testing, and QA/RA services.

Therapeutic Areas in Which We Have Experience

From startups to multinationals, medical device and IVD manufacturers are always looking for ways to achieve their goals more efficiently. Often the best way to turbocharge a project or quickly plug a gap is to look outside your organization. Ô°ÇøÒùÂÒhelps device manufacturers accelerate their goals and improve outcomes by providing a variety of clinical research outsourcing services. As a clinical Functional Service Provider and the largest CRO dedicated to medical devices, we are ready to become an extension of your team.

Why Choose Ô°ÇøÒùÂÒas Your Clinical FSP and Outsourcing Partner?

The clinical stage of your product development life cycle is arguably the most important on your road to regulatory approval.

Examples of Clinical FSP Applications and Outsourcing

Tackling a Backlog of CERs 
A large Japanese company with a portfolio of imaging devices needs to update a large number of clinical evaluation reports before a Notified Body surveillance audit. The existing team is fully occupied with new submission work and temporary help is needed to do literature reviews and write reports.

Conducting a PMCF Survey 
A US manufacturer of wound dressings needs to conduct a post market clinical follow-up (PMCF) study. The company recently lost its Chief Medical Officer and senior management has decided that the study would best be conducted by an experienced CRO rather than trying to do it internally.

Speeding up a Clinical Trial 
An early-stage neurology startup has a study underway but enrollment is not happening fast enough and it is struggling to start up numerous sites. To maintain the product development timeline promised to investors, they need to accelerate enrollment and expand the number of sites.

Getting Teams on the Same Page 
An established cardiovascular company recently merged with another company and the two companies have not fully integrated their systems. Various departments are trying to work together to push a new product into the clinical phase but it’s moving slowly. The company needs someone to help with study startup activities and completion of a primary endpoint.

Plugging a Hole Due to Staff Departures 
A large multinational orthopedics company purchased a niche competitor and is in the process of merging clinical and regulatory operations. Numerous employees from the acquired company left soon after the acquisition but management does not want to replace them. Existing teams are overwhelmed. The parent company decides to outsource a portion of the work previously done internally to a clinical FSP.

Offering Strategic Guidance
A device manufacturer is creating an inhaler product and needs very specific expertise on FDA pharma and biologics regulations to guide them through the preclinical and clinical phases.
